X-TREME Fork Cartridge for Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016-2017, TracTive

The TracTive X-TREME is a high-quality, closed cartridge kit for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin fork, featuring adjustable rebound and compression damping as well as a hydraulic bump stop.

Both cartridges are installed into the fork legs without any modifications to the fork itself. Compression damping is adjusted at the top of the left fork leg, and rebound damping at the top of the right fork leg.

Each cartridge is a closed-system design that functions like a dedicated, pressurized shock absorber with its own damping oil. The large 35 mm piston allows for high oil flow, ensuring stable and highly controllable damping characteristics.

The cartridges were developed in close cooperation with adventure and rally riders. The result is significantly better off-road handling while maintaining long-distance comfort.

Adjustment Options

• Compression: top of the left fork leg, 18 clicks
• Rebound: top of the right fork leg, 18 clicks
• Spring preload: on both fork legs, up to 12 mm adjustment range

Technical Details

• 35 mm piston diameter
• Pressurized closed cartridge
• Hydraulic bump stop
• Linear springs and fork oil included
• Bleed screw in each fork cap
• Fully serviceable and individually tunable

Hydraulic Bump Stop

The hydraulic bump stop acts at the end of the suspension travel, reducing harsh bottoming-out during heavy impacts.

Available Heights

The cartridge kit is available in three different versions:

• Standard height
• 25 mm lowering
• 15 mm raising

For the lowered version, an adjustment of the side and center stands may be necessary. For the raised version, an adjustment of the ABS and brake lines may be required.

We recommend matching the suspension height for both the front and rear wheels. Ideally, the cartridge kit should be combined with an appropriately adjusted shock absorber.

Individual Tuning

We will tune the cartridge kit to your rider weight and intended use before delivery.

For this, we only need your rider weight including riding gear and a brief note on your primary type of use (street, touring, off-road, etc.).

You can simply send us this information via email or reply directly to your order confirmation.

The cartridge kit comes standard with 5.6 N/mm springs (25 mm lowering: 6.0 N/mm). Depending on rider weight and intended use, softer or harder springs are also available.
